MAMMOTH + TAHOE SHRED!

This past week was the original scheduled opening day of Mammoth Mountain! But thankfully, many of us were lucky enough to get to enjoy EARLY november snow. Mammoth actually opened November 3rd! A week and a half before scheduled opening.

Aaron, Sealevel, Justin, Uber Dan, Ashley Cooter, Gaby, Gypsy Jack, and I got to role up Wed. November 12th, to be able to ride Thursday. We did not get there untill 2 am, and we were welcomed by Justin, Aaron, and Uber with them nearly butt naked in robes drinking whiskey.

The rooms were very very classy, fire place, robes, kitchen, everything we wanted. The riding was supper good on Thursday, but it was very warm and slushy, it felt just like a spring day, and there is nothing better than a spring day. Friday it got a little warmer and softer, we were getting stuck in some spots down roadrunner.

Saturday came and i rode hung over AGAIN! for a few hours, then ducked out to Tahoe to see Kari's new place and meet all her roomies! Once again we partied, and ended up not riding Boreal due to 60 degree weather. Overall GREAT FUCKING WEEK!!!!

CD Release!

When I was in high school, I was lucky enough to meet a great friend of mine, Aaron Carr. We had both been in and out of bands trying to find the perfect mix. Finally Aaron and I got talking and soon realized we had the perfect makings of a band. A few weeks later, Aaron and I called some friends over to jam and see what we could make of it.

Shortly after The King Is Dead (TKID) was formed. Named after an Everytime I Die Lyric. Two and a half years later, after many member changes, after many, many shows, and writing many songs together we as a band are glad to release our very first full length EP/CD.

We are very proud of this CD, out of the 16 songs we have wrote with each other, we were able to record 9 of them in Johnny's garage, then moved those recordings into Johnny's studio in which he was interning at, to finish up vocals, master, and mix the CD.

In the end we did everything ourselves. We are finally releasing our very long over due CD out into public~~~~!!~
